I am over weight my BMI is 37 and I am 40 weeks pregnant tomorrow honestly being overweight can be worrying but it just means you have a consultant based pregnancy and you will have more scan at the end just to make sure that baby is growing fine. You might also find that you lose weight during your pregnancy because being pregnant burns so many calories and you find your self eating healthy for the baby
I did have GD which weight can contribute too but most women in my family(varying weights) had GD as well.
I was 250 when I got pregnant. I delivered a healthy baby girl. I did have gestational diabetes but it was manageable with metformin and a healthy diet. My daughter weighed a tiny 5 lbs 4 oz at birth and is now 16 lbs at 7.5 months old
I was 220 which is less, but I had no issues with miscarriage… I actually had one when I was ‘normal’ weight and younger. I do know several women who were probably closer weight to you and none had any issues I know of.
